In addition, pursuant to the director appointment covenant under the Stock Purchase Agreement, as long as the Purchasers and their affiliates collectively (i) retain the Profit Interest Percentage (as defined below) and (ii) continue to own at least 50% of the Shares (the “Ownership Requirements”), the Company has agreed to appoint one person designated by the Purchasers to serve on the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”), and to continue to nominate such person to continue to serve on the Board at each annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders so long as the Purchasers meet the Ownership Requirements and such person qualifies as an independent director under Nasdaq independence rules and is reasonably acceptable to the Board.
